All over the Valley of the Sun (the Phoenix metropolitan area) there are artistic bus shelters in certain locations.
When I was in Mesa last weekend, I found this bus stop shelter right in front of the high-rise building I featured yesterday. This has to be one of the most elaborate bus shelter I've spotted around the valley.
I found out it was designed by Joe Tyler and placed there in 2002. The design consists of a dome supported by artificial palm trees. Perhaps the artist was inspired by all the palm trees that surround the building.

Hi Sharon! What a fantastic bus shelter! Brilliant design for the area!
That's great! I love it when sculptural forms can be integrated into a structure with practical purpose.
Made me smile Sharon :) what a fantastical construction! Got to love the quirky touch of the weather vane :)
Waiting for a bus
is a pain in the rear
but a cozy little shelter
makes the pain less severe.
It sure is a lot nicer than those that we have.
Compared to shelters here this one is pretty darn classy. I can hardly wait to see the buses.
That is very elaborate!
That has to be the fanciest bus shelter ever, Sharon!
Very fancy! Nothing like that around here, that's for sure!
I think that must be one of the prettiest bus shelters I've ever seen!
Isn't that cool! Haven't seen one like that before.
Probably the most stylish bus stop I have ever seen.
